"Mayberry" calls to mind visions of a simpler way of life.

It epitomizes an unhurried pace, with time to enjoy everything that's around you.

A place where you can savor the finer things in life, and leave the stresses of the everyday world far behind. A home where an unforced, casual sense of elegance prevails.

That warm and welcoming image of home is the inspiration behind Mayberry Homes. Founded by Karen J. and Robert K. Schroeder, the company offers new home buyers a unique blend of old-world values and cutting-edge technologies.
